HC Deb 12 June 1972 vol 838 c201W
67. Mr. King Murray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now review the existing arrangements for publishing information about the escape from custody of dangerous or potentially dangerous prisoners.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, South (Mr. Clark Hutchison) on Thursday, 8th June. I am satisfied that the arrangements, outlined there, are adequate. Steps have already been taken to ensure, so far as is possible, that misinterpretation of standing instructions does not occur.—[Vol. 838, c.144–45.]
